# 57 Joshua Yaffa of the New Yorker magazine speaks with Magnus about journalism in wartime Ukraine and Russia.

A Big Sur Podcast

Joshua's article about the recent arrest of Evan Gershkovich.
>>>>>>>>>>>
A podcast co- hosted with the Monterey Initiative in Russian Studies, based at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. The Monterey Initiative is supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York.
Joshua Yaffa visited the Middlebury Institute by invitation of Professor Anna Vassilieva, who is the director of the Monterey Initiative and the Russian Studies Program at the Institute.
Joshua gave a public talk and met with students who specialize in Russian politics and joined me, Magnus, on a trip down the Big Sur coast. We spoke of his time in Moscow as the foreign correspondent for the Economist, some about his education, his ideas on what makes a good journalist, Big Sur as a place, how objectivity is impossible, and much more.
What you hear is part of our daylong visit.

It was an honor to host Joshua.
SPECIAL THANKS to Anna Vassilieva and Joshua Yaffa.
